More on Truth
“One of the most essential yet the hardest truths that I have had to learn is that every person should be his own hardest task-master.”
“Through error you come to the truth! I am a man because I err! You never reach any truth without making fourteen mistakes and very likely a hundred and fourteen.”
“For there is a virtue in truth; it has an almost mystic power. Like radium, it seems to give off forever and ever grains of energy, atoms of light.”
More on History
“To discover the various use of things is the work of history.”
“Chronological snobbery is the uncritical acceptance of the intellectual climate common to our own age and the assumption that whatever has gone out of date is on that account discredited. You must find why it went out of date. Was it ever refuted (and if so by whom, where, and how conclusively), or did it merely die away as fashions do? If the latter, this tells us nothing about its truth or falsehood.”
“There has never yet been a man in our history who led a life of ease whose name is worth remembering.”
